shall be completed by instalments each instalment shall be considered to
be a separate contract and construed as such in accordance with these
conditions. In particular failure by the Customer to make payments by
due date for any one instalment for whatsoever reason entitles the
Company to suspend deliveries or work upon this or any other Contract
between the Company and the Customer but without prejudice to any other
rights the Company may have under the provisions of such Contract.(c)
In the case of partial completion of an Order the Company shall be
entitled to payment pro rata in respect of all goods supplied without
